Okay I know most here know I have so many fills that I feel like I could scream, without I might add any restriction.....period....have I lost anything In five years of this band NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......have I had restriction....What is that I ask myself....My last fill my doctor put me at 10cc that was all the band would hold....I threw up and threw up....until I had to go back and have it taken out....especially when I couldn't even hold down water; they removed it I went and had a barium....I got back in the office a month later....since it takes that long to get in.............Here is the scary part...he says my band is okay...he starts the feel next thing I know my chest and arms are feel like they are being crushed...him and his nurse look at each other like...ummm teach her a lesson...I never ever was so scared in my entire life....he told me after that I need to have another barium, and was not to come back to his office until I seen a dietican......I am thinking okay why would I need him........then...I have no fill ...a useless ban.... and nightmares from hell.......I cry each time I think what went on that day...........

My word! Are they afraid of law suites? It seems like maybe you could go to the medical board or something if he is a quack.

I have been having the same types of problems with my doctor. The last two times I have been in to see him I have had problems. I went in earlier this week and was told I need to go for a barium swallow and to see a dietician. The only problem I have been having is that I have a tight 4cc band and should never go over 1.4cc, but the doctor keeps insisting that I get 2cc's. Then I am over filled and have to go back in for an unfill. Instead of just taking out a tad bit out he then takes out everything, so that I have to go back and pay to once again get a fill. I am in Texas and am wondering who your doctor is. Everytime I go to my doctos office I hear others complaining about the same types of problems.
